Lefthanded pitcher Dickey Kerr, who won 53 games in four seasons with the White Sox and is best known for winning both of his starts as a rookie in the 1919 “Black Sox” World Series against Cincinnati, died 50 years ago today in Houston, TX.

Approximately 20 miles from Houston in Sugarland, TX, a statue of Kerr was unveiled last month at Constellation Field, home of the independent Atlantic League’s Sugarland Skeeters.
